Hi,
  Haven't used thunderbird or gnome3. Don't know much about emails either.
But I recently started using mutt and hence noticed that the difference between
the 2 messages in your screen-shot is that The OP's mail(the one that looks 
weird) 
contains 2 parts one plain text part and one html part whereas the reply 
(which looks normal) has only a plain text part. 

Maybe thunderbird has an option to use a particular font when rendering emails 
that contain html?
